Location & Character
Located just west of Munich, Golfclub Olching offers a peaceful golf experience despite its convenient location close to the city.
Although the surrounding town has gradually expanded around the course, the layout still feels spacious, natural and surprisingly quiet. Mature trees, attractive landscaping and a well-designed parkland setting create an enjoyable atmosphere from the first tee to the final green.
Course Overview
Olching is a true championship course without ever becoming unfair.
Every hole has its own character, and hazards are carefully positioned to reward strategic golf rather than simply penalising mistakes. Players who think their way around the course will consistently score better than those relying purely on distance.
The intelligent routing keeps every round interesting and encourages golfers to return again and again.
Playing Experience & Difficulty
Although the terrain is generally flat, Golfclub Olching demands thoughtful course management.
Power alone is rarely enough. Well-positioned tee shots create the best approach angles, while poorly placed drives quickly bring bunkers and water hazards into play.
The fairways are generally generous, the greens are large, fast and gently undulating, offering a wide variety of challenging pin positions while remaining fair for all handicap levels.
Signature Hole
My personal signature hole is the 2nd.
From the championship tees, players face a spectacular tee shot over water on a long par 4 that immediately showcases the sporting character of the course.
The finishing 18th is equally memorable, playing beautifully towards the clubhouse and providing the perfect ending to an excellent round of golf.
Course Conditioning
Course conditioning is consistently excellent.
The fairways, bunkers, tee boxes and greens are maintained to a very high standard throughout most of the season.
Only during prolonged periods of hot, dry weather do the fairways become noticeably firmer, making ball bounce less predictable. Even then, the overall quality of the course remains outstanding.
Practice Facilities & Infrastructure
The practice facilities are among the best in the region.
The spacious driving range provides excellent practice conditions for golfers of every ability.
The short-game area allows realistic practice from a variety of lies and distances, while the large putting green beside the clubhouse is ideal for warming up before the round.
Modern golf carts and excellent overall infrastructure complete the premium golfing experience.
Clubhouse, Restaurant & Atmosphere
The impressive historic clubhouse immediately creates a welcoming first impression.
Its large sun terrace overlooking the 18th green is the perfect place to relax after a round.
The restaurant serves very good food, the service is consistently friendly and efficient, and the clubhouse staff make every guest feel welcome from arrival to departure.
The atmosphere throughout the club is relaxed, welcoming and distinctly premium.
